Goebel's False Brook Salamander

Pseudoeurycea goebeli is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

These salamanders live at an elevation of 2400–2900 meters in the cloud forest. Researchers have found that their mating and spermiogenesis do not depend on temporal changes like other salamanders in that area. Another unique fact about these specific salamanders is that even though they have mating opportunities throughout the year and they are active all year, they are seasonal egg-layers.

It is threatened by habitat loss.

This salamander inhabits cloud forests and pine-oak forests at elevations between 2,400-3,200 meters in the mountains of central Mexico. It requires moist microhabitats with abundant leaf litter and fallen logs, typically found in well-preserved montane forest ecosystems.
